Congratulations, well deserved. Respect!
Yes well done David and everyone who contrubutied toward Elite on that 30 year run. Onwards to the 4th decade! 
Nice to see your still up to your naughty ways. Thank you too Mobius for all those great images you created, some made me cry others left me in fits of laughter. Anyways David as an imperial? No, no David is THE Imperial!

For me, Elite is up there with Simcity, Civilization and other mega franchises. Games that defined gaming.
Wow! That is incredible. Congrats on the whole team! Keep going and don't let the hamsters starve or we will lose that record

Awesome... I remember seeing and playing Elite back on the C64 back in 1985 or 1986 when a buddy of mine got a Commodore home computer. I begged and pleaded and did tons of extra chores to get by parents to buy me one as well, telling them it would be a great investment for my school work... hehe...yeah, right. Used it for games all the way, and Elite was part of my game collection.
top marks there!
hopefully, everything going right, i shall have an original bbc mirco version of elite in my hands tomorrow before heading of to gamescom. to me it all still is a 1986s teenagers summer dream that keeps coming true ^^

Nice! Congratulations.
To me elite isn’t just a game, it’s my small bedroom in my parents’house with my commodore 64 hooked up to a tiny TV that I was able to explore a virtual universe.
It was an entity that transcended book or film where I could be whatever my imagination wanted me to be, a trader a pirate a bounty hunter or an explorer.
It literally pulled on the reigns my imagination and said where to today CMDR and secrectly if I amhonest, I always hoped it was like the film The Last Starfighter, where if I became good enough at the game I would berecruited as a pilot for the alien defence force.
I have literally only just found elite dangerous after 30 years and a chance conversation at work. I have only been back in the black for two days but, I feel like I have come home.
As a final testament to this game I can honestly, not think of any game I have played in my 47yrs that
makes me feel the way this game does.
BigFW your statement in your comment is spot on.
A massive thank you to the people who created and developed the original elite and a massive thank you if any are reading this to any of you who were involved in the resurgence of this awesome game.
P.S
Alien Defence force if you’re reading this I am still available to recruit, but I may need a slightly wider seat in my ship.
See you in the black guys.
